Caste and conflict
“Parari”
– Review
Maran and Devi are from the same village in Tiruvannamalai but come from lower and dominating castes respectively.
While several instances of caste clashes are prevalent in their village, the people of the place are also employed as laborers in a fruit juice factory in Karnataka, further prompting linguistic-based conflicts to happen.
Director Ezhil Periyavedi touches upon two types of social conflicts, one on a linguistic basis, and the other on caste hierarchy.
The second half of Parari mainly concentrates on nationalistic pride in Karnataka, how the laborers from other states are being treated, and finally merges with the Cauvery water conflict.
Harishankar, who plays the hero, has given his full effort for this film. He shows his anger and aggression with expressions.
On the other hand, the heroine Sangeetham has also shown excellent performance in a few places, especially in the climax scenes.
Also, those who played the village leaders and party members have all acted well in their given roles. Apart from them, Guru, Rajendran, Mahendran, Premnath and others have also acted well.
Sean Roldan’s music adds more soul to the movie and Sridhar’s camerawork has captured the emotions in an effective manner.
Rating: 3.3/5
